How Seven Kansas Children Remembered

How Seven Kansas Children Remembered
the Cause Of Missions
This particular pig was born on
homestead farm IN Riley County, Kan
sas, IN. February, 1855 Ihere are seven
children in the famlly-hve boys and
two girls--and there were i've pigs for
them to feed. q happy thought OF the
children's mother, who has few rellgg-
ions privileges Tor her nestilngs, sugg-
'gested that one OF the youthful porkers
be given to missions; and forthwith
that was his name, "A Missionary Fig:
And the way that pig craunched the
corn and laid on fat was something
wonderful. He had only one short
year Of life, but it was a life. OF activity
and development worth recording; foE
in February 1884, they brought that
pig to the Telephone. Office, to be dl-..
yided among the missions. Now the
editor OF this paper has little skill IN
carving ordinary meat, but when i
comes to cutting up . missionary MIS-
Pig he is very happy; and would not
mind trying his hand on Q whole drove
OF such pigs. . e
But we doubt it any OF our readers
would have recognized that pig with
out ticket saying where he wanted to

possibly because of the yellow corn he /
had eaten. And then he was SO round,
almost as round as twenty-dollar gold
piece. And the editor lay awake a.
little while that night, thinking howhe
would divide that pig. One thing was
certain, those seven children should
have something to remember the pig
by. And as he lay thinking all at once
the tears came into his eyes and drip
ped down upon his pillow, for he re-
membercd that there was another little
girl in that family, the oldest one, who
had been with Jesus several years; and
SO sixteen shares, two apiece, for eight
children, were bought in the new mis-
sion ship, @'Thc Morning Star" When
Captain Bay sails to far off Kusaie in
Micronesia, to carry provisions and
Bibles to Brother and Sister Walkup,
who went from Kansas, part of that
pig will be down in the engine-roem.

gospel to the Islands of the Sea. And
then the editor thought those chill

shares, and how the missions got along,
and so he bought two missionary pa.

THE SETH GAS WELL.

It's Flow Continues to Incr-as~-fr"ha-
hiIity that the Well will he shot
There is a probability that the gas well
near Northampton will be shot at some
time during the course of the next week
OF two. The flow of gas from the well is
Of the most encouraging size. but il is mo-,
enough TO supply the city of Springfield.
and the owners of the well are burning
with impotence to give the well a thorough
whirl and see what il is worth. Many q
well which had no flow at all has become a
good producer by being shot At the
same time there is distinct possibility that
a damaging stream of salt water may be
burned into the well when it is shot" and
il may be- spoiled entirely.
We have got the best well in live coun-
ties, said Hon. j. X. Mower. with enthusi-
asm, this afternoon. Il don't think
people quite realize what We have there.
Our we'll is sending out enough gas at this
moment to supply the entire town of New
Carlisle. In Springfield the well would b.
worth at least S25, 900. What If We do not
get enough gas from this we'll 10 supply
Springfield? What is to prevent our drilling
a number more just such wells a. this?
Their combined flow would be worth pip
ing to Springfield. and that's certain. The
flow OF this well. the men say. is constantly
increasing. Ii is now | $50 feet deep and
the drill has gone 400 feet through the

Cavalry Drill at West Point.

West Point riding deserves a chapter
by itself, for il would be a revelation To
the city schools. Bareback, with crossed
stirrups, with every kind of horse except
an easy one, the boys have to rough il for
a year or more before they get a foot rest
The big, gloomy riding hall has its agile
tenants day after day during the fall and
winter months, and lew indeed are the
boys who are not time and again rolled in
the tan bark or pitched headlong over the
hurdles.
A cat with its reputed plurality Of lives
would be dead a dozen times over in
taking half the chances those laughing
youngsters will eagerly seek in their three
years al cavalry and light artillery drill,
but it seems impossible to kill Il cadet
and just a. hard 10 scare one. More reck-
less, daring, graceful riding one need
never look To see than among the seniors
when they come before the board of visitors
in Jane, aud all through the spring,
varied by occasional scouts and recon-
noisSances over the rough mountain roads
the drills Of the cavalry battalion on the
plain are sights that one can never tire of
watching: while after an hours running
at the heads. - or leaping hurdles bare
back, picking up handkerchefs from the
ground, or mounting and dismouuting at
. galiop, the boys come back from the
hall covered with glory and tan bark,
but with famous appetites and few
bruises. King, L. 5 A. in Har-
